Stop compiling. Start building. Chameleon for Nimbus Chameleon brings real-time CSS styling to your iOS applications. Good bye long compile times. Good bye re-installs and good bye re-navigating to the changed view controller. Say hello to seeing your changes reflected in real time. I’ll let the demo video do the talking.
